Flash
Tools: Macromedia Flash, or simply Flash, refers
to both the Macromedia Flash Player and to a
multimedia authoring program used to create
content for it as well as games or movies created
using the program. The Flash Player, developed
and distributed by Adobe Systems (formerly by
Macromedia), is a client application available
in most web browsers. It features support for
vector and raster graphics, a scripting language
called ActionScript and bidirectional streaming
of audio and video. Strictly speaking, Macromedia
Flash is the integrated development environment
(IDE) and Flash Player is the virtual machine
used to run the Flash files, but in colloquial
language these have become mixed: "Flash"
can mean either the authoring environment, the
player, or the application files.
Flash is commonly used to create animations,
advertisements, design elements on a web page,
add video to web sites and more recently, to
develop Rich Internet Applications. The Flash
files, traditionally called "flash movies",
usually have a .swf file extension and may appear
as an element of a web page or to be "played"
in the standalone Flash Player. |
